The Xumlier Two. I:., i A There is no particular mnrnl or even a morali-tto to the- following j story, which n correspondent of thei lorth American tells of. an ad venture in El Paso, but it is an in teresting illustration of the us and dotrtfs of speculation, which gam blers call luck. The writer says: AVith a few of my companions I had been -having quite a night of it, and at 3 :30 o'clock in the morning, with jut 5 cents in my pockets, found myself alone on a prominent street in El Paso. This was a terri ble state to be in, considering that I had not a friend to whom I could apnlj' with any certainty. I thought of my position so earnestly that 1 discovered myself standing quite still, cursing my bad luck. I de termined to make the best of it and was about passing on when I was suddenly surprised to hear some one exclaim : "Ruined by two !" I turned and saw a well dressed 3'oung man standing at the door of one of the most noted gambling sa loons in El Paso. I was about to approach...

VOLUME 4. ST. JOHNS, APACHE COUNTY, ARIZONA TERRITORY, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1888. NUMBER 82 Stock and Range. A correspondent of the Clifton Clarion says there is considerable cattle stealing going on around Pima, Graham county. The owners of cattle should look out, as it is said that several ranch ers are putting out poisoned melons for the benefit. of wandering steers and thin stags. Yuma Sentinel. The cattle of IT. McKeon, sold at Sheriffs sale, at Tombstone, Tues day last, to satisfy a judgment held by Goldman & Co., of Phoenix, were bid in by Goldman for the amount of the judgment $800. So states the Prospector. There are about 100 head of these cattle. Hon. G. W. Stewart, one of the best posted cattlemen in the south west, visited Prescott from his home at Flagstaff, on Tuesday last.

Wise and Otherwise. LT.&. H HUNING. I- r . Twfnty years ago the nut hori lies of two small German principalities i took a deal of trouble to solve a knotty p.)int of Inn.' which was, as will be seen, much more important in principle tiian in practice. Mr. Robert Crawford, an English civil engineer, was building a railroad, which raii so clo.e to the boundary line between the two principalities that each demanded a station upon its own territory. After much trou ble, he persuaded the authorities to agree to the station-house being placed upon the division line, so that one-half of the building should be on each side. The arrangement gave rise to many troubles. The station-master lived in the house, and two sons were born therein. ,, , . . , . 1 .t . Jiacn principaniv ciaimeu inai mey .

yOLTJMIE 4. NUMBER S3. ST. JOHNS. APACHE COUNTY, ARIZONA TERRITORY, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1888. m Stock and Range. Major A. W. Hilliard, who came in from the south yesterday, stated to the News that recent develop ments have shown to the satisfac tion of the most skeptical that the Chicago dressed beef men have ab solute control of the market, ad vancing or lowering (chiefly lower ing) prices at will. The little spurt of two days, during which prices went up higher than they had been in six years, was the work of the big four for the purpose of indu cing a rush of cattle, so they could buy them in large quantities at whatever they should be disposed to give, They are not making money fast enough, so they raised the price so as to produce a rush of J business. Major Hilliard's remedy is for the state legislatures to pass laws requiring all the beef slaugh-i tered in the state in which it is con sumed to be inspected. This, he says, will break the power of the big four, and the butchers ...

VOLUME 4. ST. JOHNS, APACHE COUNTY, ARIZONA TERRITORY, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1S88. NUMBER, 34 V Desperadoes as Peace Officers. Written for the St. Johns Herald. The article which appeared in your issue of June 7th, has received the unqualified approbation of the entire territorial press ; at least, of all those papers whose editors are intelligently posted on the territory and its political history; the excep tions, are those ignorant of, or who purposely misconstrue the intent and meaning thereof. To further illustrate my position : Take Tomb stone under the regime of despera does the Earp-Clanton gangs all or nearly all peace-officers of course. Matters had arrived at such an in tolerable pitch in Tombstone, that for self-protection and in order to rid themselves of this sort of dis reputable cut-throats, a number of the best citizens concocted a plan to get the two gangs to fighting, knowing that one side or the other (and to the respectable element, it mattered little which) would ...

r ) L & H HUNING. i. I i- h I Truth Stranger than Fiction. If the story tohl by Mr?. Mar' Bridge to Justice Schicilein of East New York recently is true it illus trates -trie npliorism that truth is stranger than fiction. This story, briefly told, is that she and her hus band, John M. Bridge, were mar fied in England, forty-five years ago, and had one child, Louis, now jivjng and working on the Brook 3?n bridg". The old man was a sailor, but gave rp the sea some 3"cars ago. A few months ago ?Irs. Bridge iiiefc an old shipmate of her hus band, who expressed surprise at not seeing her in affluent circumstances. "Why," he said, "What has be come of the 50,000 your husband had ten years ago?" '"JFifty thousand pounds ! You are crazy," exclaimed Mrs. Bridge, "Not at all. He had trunks full of gold." The astounded Mrs. Bridge went home and charged her husband with concealing his wealth. lie owned up, but implored her not to men tion it or the Snug Harbor author ities would charge him ...

VOLUME 4. Am Eflcuanted Mine. About sixty miles from the Pa cific coast in the state of Sinaloa is a mountain known as the "Cerro del Oro," or hill of gold. It rises in majestic grandeur from the midst of clustering hills, grand in them selves, but insignificant in the pres ence of this silent, gloomy, rugged old king. To the casual observer - there is nothing remarkable about this magnificent mountain, whose sides are covered with vegetation, j and apparently as smooth as the erassv slopes of California, seen from the deck of the passing steam er. Its immensity is not realized until the ascent is undertaken. Its sides, apparently so smooth, are found to be traversed by deep gorges and by fissures, shade by giant trees, whose interlacing branches cast a somber gloom over the entrance to the deep canons. It is. with hesita tion akin to fear that one enters their cavernous depths. There it is that the people of the neighboring hamlet have taken refuge in the dark days of revolution an...
